Hi!

ItsÃƒâ€šÃ‚Â´s build by Theo Laaks (germany). The engine does not work for a "longtime" the bore is just too big for the Yamaha 850 engine... so there is not often a 916cc engine... the 878cc is the "most" serious to tune up.

There exist a Video-DvD: Helmut DÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â¤ne rides a Laaks TRX920 on "the Ring" (NÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â¼rburgring)... crazy and fantastic

Ciao!

Heinz

P.S.: I donÃƒâ€šÃ‚Â´t think its Diopa bodywork... also could be a modified YZF750 (thats what i remember...)

Actually found the video on DVD in an online auction with the hefty top bid of 2ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚Â¬!

This biek has been discussed before - perhaps not on this forum?

I've asked loads of questions about that bike and never had any replies. Mainly because I don't believe the quoted figures - try comparing those figures to a Ducati 916, 996, SP1 etc!

To my mind overboring the 850 engine 5mm is a recipe for disaister.

JE pistons do a 878 kit and Over do (or did) an 870 - nothing bigger because anything more leaves the lining walls to thin. Think QT also rebored his to take TDM 900 slugs but I would even say that was too thin.

And you can't get FCR40s!

Miss on that, states 41Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â´s in a paperarticle.
Although, that article also states the bike as 880cc (prob. the JE 878)

If it's 880 then I really don't believe the HP claims.

From what i can see tuning wise, that bike is broadly the same spec as mine but makes 20hp more! Somewhat unlikely I'd suggest.

The video might shed some light in the matter, laaks webpage is fekkered.

Could it have actually been a TDM donk. Even still HP figure for that sounds high. Race fuel maybe?

concidering it has 6 gears, id say its a TDM..

As for boring out my block to take 900cc.. The walls are slightly THICKER than stock sleeves..

Yes the actual "cylinder block" is thinner on the inside, but they are location + water cooling only.

They guide the sleeve in, then theres a big open space in the middle, and a bit at the bottom again.. Think of giant wine barrel, thats bowed in the middle, the sleeve fits into it like that.. yes its weird..

In a few weeks ill post results of when i finally move house / get my engine together and fit the EFI on it.. Yup, im going injected !! so i think a few ppl will be interested in how to do it..

PS: i dont believe the ~120hp unless there is some seriously expensive race fuel in there or ethanol or something.. Yes i believe its possible, but could it be a typo ?
